The experience
What's special
Big Fam is a small, independent, community-run camping music festival held at The Groves of Michigan in Brooklyn, Michigan. Run by Big Fam Productions LLC, it centers on immersive art, three stages of music and a tight-knit returning crowd, including a wooded 'KatFish Bayou' stage and a main stage that turns into a silent disco after the headliners finish. The bill leans heavily electronic, bass, jamtronica, house and live-electronic acts, alongside art installations and an all-ages, family atmosphere
What people love
Attendees repeatedly describe Big Fam as one of their favorite festivals and a highlight of their year, praising the intimate scale, the small and easy-to-navigate wooded venue, and consistently strong sound quality. Many compare it favorably to a smaller, less commercialized Electric Forest and single out the welcoming crowd and the organizers' evident care for the attendee experience. The Bayou stage in the woods, the beautiful stage design and the on-site art installations are frequent standouts
Last time around (2024)
The 2024 edition at The Groves of Michigan drew warm reviews, with attendees calling it a highlight weekend of great music, a great crowd and strong sound. The main stage transitioned into a silent disco after the headliners, while the wooded Bayou stage ran into the early hours and there was even a sunrise set. Autumn weather ranged from mid-70s during the day to the 40s at night, and attendees advised bringing layers
